What are under-eye issues?
The skin around the eyes is relatively thin and delicate, making it more noticeable when changes in pigmentation, facial volume, skin texture or elasticity occur.
Common concerns include dark circles, under-eye bags, tear trough hollowness, fine lines and loose under-eye skin.
When should you be assessed?
- Persistent dark circles around the eyes
- Under-eye hollowness or a sunken appearance
- Puffiness or visible under-eye bags
- Fine lines and wrinkles beneath the eyes
- Loose or crepey under-eye skin
- Tired-looking eyes despite adequate rest
Sudden, painful or one-sided swelling, particularly with redness or vision changes, requires prompt medical assessment.
How is it assessed?
- Under-eye skin and facial anatomy assessment
- Identification of pigmentation, hollowness or puffiness
- Evaluation of skin thickness and elasticity
- Assessment of facial volume changes
- Review of medical history and treatment suitability
- Personalised under-eye treatment planning
Treatment options
Depending on the underlying concern, your doctor may recommend:
- BTL Exilis Under Eye – Non-invasive radiofrequency treatment for selected skin laxity concerns
- PolyPhil Eye – Polynucleotide-based treatment for selected under-eye skin quality concerns
- Dermal Fillers – Address suitable tear trough hollowness and volume loss
- HA Skin Boosters – Support hydration and skin quality in suitable areas
- PRP Under Eye – May support selected skin rejuvenation goals
- Brightening Laser – Addresses selected pigmentation concerns when appropriate
- Fractional Under-Eye Laser – Improves selected fine lines and skin texture concerns
The recommended treatment depends on whether the main concern is pigmentation, hollowness, puffiness, skin laxity, fine lines or skin quality.
Not all under-eye bags are suitable for non-surgical treatment, and certain conditions may require specialist evaluation.
